My CB Endli Endli is doing WONDERFUL. To those of you who have been here and seen my posts, you'll be shocked to know that I think this fish is stealing my heart and becoming my all-time favorite, even over Indy (my 12'' Guinea Endli).
Quick background... Gustavo was purchased online from DarmalisDragonfish.com in early January. He came with another tiny baby who was just too small to make it. They were both 1 1/2''. It's been 8 months, and Gustavo has already made it to 10'' TL. Over an inch a month - not bad huh??
Enjoy
This was when we first got him - he lived in a 10g with the other baby Endli.
First Tank Graduation - he went to another 10g when he was finally big enough to hang out with a few other bichir babies. Probably around 4'' in this one.
Second Tank Graduation - up to a 20g with a little bit bigger babies. Maybe 5'' here.
I missed this day... I was on vacation and my boyfriend sent this pic from his cellphone. I had purchased a 7'' pike/gar thing from PetsMart a few days before I left. Hadn't even had time to figure out what it really was yet, and well, that's the new fish in his stomach. He likes to eat.... a lot. This is also in his current home after Third Tank Grad - 29g with other teenagers. He has out grown ALL of them and he will be moving to a 55gal as soon as we figure out which one to put him in.
Recent pic - I think he looks like a Stegasaurus (sp??) lol
Another recent one - showing off his pretty markings and finnage for me. GORGEOUS!

he's not large enough to accurately sex yet, so you're safe for now 
especially after gorging on shrimp and they get that hunch back look
